The list of celebrities whose credit histories, Social Security numbers and other personal identifying information was said to be revealed on a mysterious Web site earlier this week included First Lady Michelle Obama, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Attorney General Eric Holder. The culprits were able to glean enough personal information from other sources to access the online reports using AnnualCreditReport.com.
